Which is why they shouldn't reboot it. Just tell Batman stories. They don't even have to be connected or maintain continuity. At this point, we really don't need an origin story. We get who the character is.

comic book, radio serials, movies serials, television show, movie based on tv show, Batman movies of the 80's/90's, now these three. One can only hope that they will wait more than 10 years to reboot. But as the Amazing bomb Spiderman has shown us...it ain't gonna happen.

I don't know I think a reboot in the style of Batman Brave and the Bold would be awesome. You know square jawed shining good guy Batman, to contrast the dark and gritty Batman that we have seen lately.

Agreed.

That was one of the nice things about the Keaton Batman movie- they didn't bother to do a big origin story or anything else for Batman. It was just the Batman we already knew. The Nolan Batman has been just fine- great story, etc., but other than the increased grittiness, it hasn't brought much else to the plate.

Just do a Batman movie... pick a villain and get to it. There's no need to boot jack shiat. If you want to design your own Batmobile, go for it, but you don't need to come up with some kind of "here's how THIS guy got all his stuff." We're already suspending a fair amount of disbelief, we'll let the origin BS slide too.

I'd love to see more batman films the new batman comics are excellent. The return of Bruce Wayne and Batman Incorporated might be too hard to adapt to screen directly but damn if they weren't fine books. I also second this idea:

Maybe a Tales Of The Dark Knight-style series. Each movie a different type. One, a B&B story, another could be Beyond, yet another one of the Elseworlds stories. At least a short, live-action telling of the "Boner" story.

Umm geez let's see. Wayne... Wayne Knight? Bruce Wayne in a film called the Dark Knight Rises... um. Ok the names are similar... Well I'm stumped. In that scene he says "we got Dodgson here". Are you saying "we got spoilers here"? Hrm, no that wouldn't make much sense. I guess there's a close resemblance of names. If a toddler or someone of young age exclaimed that the two were similar, surrounding adults would smile and nod at the child. Aside from that I have no idea what you're going for here.

Neil Gaiman actually pretty much wrote a story that already covers that. Bruce dies, but is reincarnated into a reboot of his life each time. Basically, his reward for being Batman is being able to experience his childhood over and over again.

Tannhauser:I also vote for a less gritty Batman. No origins! Unless it's not Batman. I'd kinda like to see him teach Robin how to beat up bad guys, just don't go full Schumacher.

Never go full Schumacher.

See I'd love to go in the opposite direction. An even darker Batman, couched in realism, a guy with severe emotional/mental problems and has no problem killing to get his point across. R-rated movie of course.

Let Superman be the noble hero. Batman's a different sort of character.

Considering he gave a positive review to both Rock of Ages and The Dictator, I'm pretty certain he's just being a farking twat.

They already have that character. He's called The Punisher.

The entire purpose of Batman is to save lives and avoid killing. Batman is great because he's a dark malcontent who is also more noble than any of the "Boy Scout" heroes. He's the perfect combination.

Well....I'm just plain out of ideas that don't suck. I know, let's make the same movie....only again.

Yeah! Let's take a movie that was already successful and MAKE IT AGAIN. It'll be the same thing! And we know that it'll be successful because it ALREADY was successful! Then we can poop out 1-2 sequels, sell some merchandise and then copy another movie!

Only....people might catch on and realize that we're re-releasing the same crap. Hmm....I know! Let's not call it 'Cheap copying of crap....let's call it 'Rebooting!'

It's absolutely retarded. And people line up to see it.

Batman is *literally* from the 40s.

The Joker was in the first 'Batman' comic in 1940.Two face first appeared in.....the 40s.Cat Woman first appeared in....the 40s.

Okay, now brace yourselves for this...Bane first appeared in....the 90s. 1993.

10 years, no way. I am sure that after the success of the Avengers that Warner Brothers is just itching to put out a justice league movie. And with superman getting rebooted next year I am sure they will want a new batman that shares the same universe as the movie superman.

Honestly though my ideal dream is that (assuming Bruce Wayne and Commissioner Gordon survive TDKR) is that they hire either David Simon or one of the writers from The Wire and make Gotham Central (but in the Nolan universe). Then wait a year or two and hire Clint Eastwood to direct Batman Beyond and also play crotchety old Bruce Wayne.

Although I do wonder what kind of nerd outrage there would be if WB just said fark it, we own the damn thing and made a bunch more Batman movies basically in the Nolan batman universe with a new director and a new actor playing batman/bruce?

Well the quote he chose was pretty stupid, so I don't know if I blame them.

Just checked, and he was also one of the few negative reviews on The Dark Knight also. He said "This movie is too in love with itself to make you love it."
